2003/11/20 Auroras visit Pittsburgh again in three weeks! And it's in the SOUTHERN sky! This one appeared just after sunset, around 18:30 EST in the southwest. Two to three green patches were quite bright at times, shining through strong city light. Photos also show some red auroras above them. The patches went on and off in a matter of minutes, and gradually moved to the southeast. The primary show ended around 19:10, but faint green patches could still be seen occasionally after 20:00.

Around midnight, the aurora pick up again -- this time in the northern sky. The aurora is a green curtain very low in the north. It's relatively weak and changes shape slowly. It's still going after 0:30am EST. Thank Gary Shannon for the alert.
